contacts – Where Are Photos in Contacts Stored on MacBook (High Sierra)

contacts

Pretty much what the title says. I'm trying to find a photo I have as a contact photo to use in another app. Any ideas?

Thanks!

First use Finder and Go > Go to Folder... > (enter the following path)

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/

From there navigate to the only subfolder (it should be a string of numbers and letters) and lastly, enter a folder called 'Images'. You'll see your contact image files in .jpeg format in this folder.

For reference the end path should be:

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/#######-###-###-########/Images/

I hope this helped!

IPhone – How did a photo magically appear in the iphone contacts

Your initial guess that it's Google Contacts is right - if you've set it up to sync with Google Contacts, it'll pull down the same contact photos as you have in Google Contacts, and it works both ways (assign a photo on iPhone, syncs back up to Google Contacts).

If you've got a contact photo set in Google+ or the like, it'll pull that photo automatically, so that's the photo which'll appear to others.
